Cloudflare moves to build a certificate authority for the whole Internet

Original: Building a certificate authority for the whole Internet

Cloudflare has announced work on building a certificate authority intended to serve the entire Internet. The post on the company's blog outlines the ambition, though few technical details are given. If realised, such a service could affect how websites obtain and manage the TLS certificates that underpin encrypted web traffic, an area currently dominated by Let's Encrypt, DigiCert and similar providers.

Why now: Certificate authorities are critical internet infrastructure, and Cloudflare's stated ambition to serve the whole web is a significant claim for security and web operators.
